THE TALLY-SHEET RASCALS.
A Few More Remarks from the Editors of
Republican and Democratic Papers.
THE PROSECUTION SHOULD coNrINr

THE PROSECUTION SHOULD CONTINUE.
Delphi Journal: "The courts should never
grow weary of prosecuting these men. They
are guilty. and every one knows it. They know
it themselves. The people of this section of the
State demand of Judge Woods that he continue
to move against the defendants. time and time
again, if necessary. until he sends them to the
penitentary worries them into bankruptcy or
their graves Let their crime be made SO odous
that it will never be attempted in Indiana
again"
INDUSTRIOUS DOCTRINE.
Lafayette Call: Has it indeed come to this in
Indiana, that alterations and erasures made
upon tally -sheet-forgsry pure and simple
are not a crime whom committed in the interest
of the jurors own political party? Such would
be monstrous doctrine; and once established
the end of free institutions would not be far off,
We sure that this is not the honest Demo
cratic sentiment of this State; and this honest
sentiment should assert itself"
HAVE ENDORSED THE CRIME.
Liberty Herald 1.-The Democratic party
that tried the election fraud and tally sheet
spirators has issued its edict, that any crime
against the elective franchise that is in the in,

first, that party becomes responsible for the
crime. This brings the case directly before the
people. and a second trial will be had, the YER

all thought of partisan gain in the deep sense of
State shame and disgrace in which he is forced
to participate by this most UNANIMOUSLY partisan
action of jury taken IN defiance of both law
and testimony"
HAD BETTER UNLOAD THEM.
Franklin Republican: IF the Democratic
party is to be led by such leaders into the in
dorsement of such crimes, as party policy, the
sooner it denounces such leadership the better
it will be for the success of honest govern
mont"
WANTS AN HONEST JURY.
Attica Ledger: 'It is to bs hoped that the
next jury selected will be one whose political
that the trial will be wherein the law and
evidence will be considered above political prefer
ences"
THE SIZE OF 1T.
Kniehsstown Banner: IA verdict could not
be reached because the Democrats on the Jury
and forge in the interest of Democracy without
rendering himself amenable to punishment"
EVERYTHING FAIR IN POLITICS.
Brazil Register: Son the ground that every
thing is fair In war. Democratic members of the
jury sought to shield their party by the crime of
a dishonest vote on a verdict
DOUBT ABOUT THAT.
Hendricks County Republican: "If the
criminals had been Republicans the verdict
would have been unanimous for sending them to
the State prison..
LET NO GUILTY MAN PUNISHED
Manchester Journal: THAT change of the
tally sheets was made one denies, but this
